The Midwest Poultry Federation (MPF) Convention is the largest regional poultry show in the U.S. In 2015, the convention drew over 2,000 participants from 36 states as well as Washington D.C., 4 Canadian provinces and several other countries.
The MPF Convention will be held March 15-17, 2015, at the Saint Paul RiverCentre in St. Paul, Minnesota.
In 2016, the convention will expand into three exhibit halls from two in 2015 in order to accommodate additional exhibitors. Participants come from all segments of the poultry industry: egg layer, broiler, turkey and organic/specialty poultry production. The convention will feature an education program and trade show, along with pre-show events.
All revenue generated from the convention goes back to its members, comprised of 12 poultry associations in the Midwest, and to support poultry programs.
